Jeremy Greenwood denies giving ‘ridiculous’ evidence to Icac about ‘mum’s perspective’ from premier’s sister-in-law
Counsel assisting inquiry suggests Anita Perrottet’s alleged advice on vaping and greyhound industry was already on public record from other sources A Liberal factional figure has rejected a suggestion he gave “ridiculous” evidence that Dominic Perrottet’s sister-in-law shared in $660,999 for giving a “mum’s perspective” on lobbying clients, the New South Wales anti-corruption watchdog has heard.…
Jeremy Greenwood has rejected claims he gave "ridiculous" evidence during an inquiry into alleged payments from Jean Nassif, a fugitive developer. The allegations, heard by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (Icac), involve Greenwood, Charles Perrottet, and Christian Ellis allegedly receiving $2 million in payments between 2020 and 2023 in exchange for political outcomes.
Greenwood stated before the commission that the advice provided by Anita Perrottet, Dominic Perrottet's sister-in-law, was not relevant to the situation as her children were under five when she gave it. He also denied giving false evidence about the term "zero unnecessary euthanasia," claiming he had read a Philip Morris submission from 2020 and a 2019 report, and that it did not invalidate his evidence.
Greenwood's testimony was challenged by Peggy Dwyer SC, who claimed his evidence was "ridiculous" and suggested it was false evidence provided to compensate Charles Perrottet for his advice to Nassif. Greenwood disagreed with this assessment, stating he had never received any financial arrangement for consulting work from Charles Perrottet.
